GIG HARBOR

Gig Harbor -

Gig Harbor, was named by Captain Charles Wilkes, commander of the American Exploration Expedition of 1838-1842. Wilkes crew was charting the area from a gig (a small boat) and a longboat when they sought shelter in the Gig Harbor Bay during a storm. The crew began calling our area "small harbor" and "gig harbor." Things have changed slightly since the Expedition named our charming harbor. With a city population of 6,500 and growing, Gig Harbor boasts a vibrant economy with inviting accommodations, interesting shopping, scrumptious dining, colorful cultural arts, playful recreation, and diverse professional and personal services. Gig Harbor is the perfect spot to plan your next trip to the rain forest, Victoria or any one of the wonderful communities between here and there.
